I just noticed that in my note (http://www.unicornadventures.org/index.php?2005/08/25/23-bmw-r1200rt) about the R1200RT test I have forgotten to say that the saddle is in my bottoms view not the most comfy.
I have ridden some thousands of kilometers on ours and have to admit that even though I can go for very long rides I always end up with some sore part (the one I sit on), I know my gf would say that any seat (except a very comfy sofa) is a problem for me ;).
Am I the only one?
Any solution?

That's my thought as well. I posted a comparison of my LT and RT in the K1200LT forum (here) with that comment. The fix - a custom seat. Mine will be done in March.

The seat is too soft for me. I'll be having Rocky Mayer build a custom one this Spring, before any long Summer tours.
